Proximate compositions (g/100 g) and phytonutrient contents for organic and conventional cocoa samples (mean ± SD).

Samples	Crude fat (%)	Crude fibre (%)	Crude protein (%)	Total carbohydrate (%)	Total polyphenol content (mgGAE/g)	Total flavonoid content (mgQE/g)	Total antioxidant capacity (mgAEAC/g)
Organic	41.75 ± 0.20^b	7.83 ± 0.08^a	15.77 ± 0.31^a	25.63 ± 0.46^a	61.66 ± 0.16^a	81.44 ± 0.56^a	108.78 ± 0.45^b
Conventional	43.66 ± 0.15^a	7.56 ± 0.07^a	15.45 ± 0.24^a	22.41 ± 0.45^b	59.73 ± 0.22^b	72.66 ± 0.39^b	130.03 ± 0.56^a

NB: same letters show that there is no statistical difference (p > 0.05) among samples. GAE: gallic acid equivalent; QE: quercetin equivalent; AEAC: ascorbic acid equivalent antioxidant content.
